The Pirate Bay Trial: The Official Verdict - Guilty

Just minutes ago the verdict in the case of The Pirate Bay Four was announced. All four defendants were accused of ‘assisting in making copyright content available’. Peter Sunde: Guilty. Fredrik Neij: Guilty. Gottfrid Svartholm: Guilty. Carl Lundström: Guilty. All receive 1 year in jail.

While only a few weeks ago, it seems like an eternity since the trial of The Pirate Bay Four ended and the court retired to consider its verdict. The prosecution claimed that the four defendants were ‘assisting in making copyright content available’ and demanded millions of dollars in damages. The defense did not agree, and all pleaded not guilty - backed up by the inimitable King Kong defense.
Today, Friday April 17, the court issued its decision. Here are the main points relating to each defendant (continually updated live);Peter Sunde (born September 13, 197 alias ‘brokep’:Verdict: Guilty - 1 year in prison

The court decided that the four defendants worked as a team. Damages have been set at 30 million SEK ($3,620,000)
Peter Sunde has already explained that this decision does not mean the end of the line in this case. There will be an appeal which means we are still far away from the ultimate decision - possibly years away.
As for the fate of the site, Peter has already promised that The Pirate Bay will continue. The site itself was never on trial, only the four individuals listed above.

they already said the sight will keep going. it wasn't the site that was on trial just the people. plus if you read there going to appeal so will be at least another year or two before we actually find out

Demonoid sucks, if you just want a stupid mess of a tracker like piratebay use mininova.

Anyway that is bad news... A month ago i had a pirate shirt on to the doctor and he asked me if i knew how to avoid the block on piratebay the danish court have done... I ended up getting money to fix it for him at his home.

Let's just hope the appeal works.

yeah i used minonova before, but tbh i just preferred demonoid. with mininova i had a couple of torrents that there viruses, and a lot that didnt work. so far had none of these from piratebay.

But what annoys me the most about demonoid is that the files arent rar splitted so with a private tracker it is where you have to keep up your ratio you cant just download 3 % of a torrent and then seed that part. Love that on torrentleech i can do that with all the torrents.

im pretty sure you can, im always seeding files as im downloading them. at least it looks like i am and once its completed i usually have about half of the original file size already uploaded.

EDIT: look here.

They say the site will keep going but thats bull because if they people get locked up unless they have others to run the site and keep moving forward it will eventually close up shop.

yeah they do. its not just teh four of them. plus its mainly just the servers, the site doesnt really change that much, and is policed by the members so, i presume they will have to get a few more admins in the next year while the appeal is running.

If all goes to pot, they can ring me up. I'd be happy to host their site.

this forum is dumb.. you get infracted for posting a pic of a sexy lady with a barley see through top on, yet its ok to post video of interspecies sexual assault

sink the ship and the pirates will just build another one...they seem to pick on the biggest at the the time....first napster now pirate bay....there will be others
ive been using mirc for years anyway and dont use the pirate bay often

Never used Pirate Bay but I respect what these guys are/were doing, lets hope the appeal works in their favor...

"When I was 12, I milked my eel into a pot of turtle stew. I flogged the one-eyed snake, I skinned my sausage. I made the bald man cry into the turtle stew, which I believe my sister ate. At least I hope she did."

thepiratebay is honestly a pretty terrible site. much better trackers out there.

Yes, Pirate Bay is full of trojans and fake torrents. But its kind of Symbol of Warez. This is the reason why its such a big deal.
Eh, I use Isohunt, Mininova and one site which I don't like to talk about.

‘assisting in making copyright content available’

Eh, thats too vague. Everyone is a criminal then and we all should be jailed for it.
